Caballero's two-run homer secures Yankees' win over Cubs

José Caballero hit a two-run home run in the third inning, helping the New York Yankees to a 2-1 victory against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field on August 2, 2026. The Yankees struggled offensively, but Gerrit Cole's strong pitching performance, allowing only one run over 5.2 innings, kept the Cubs at bay. After Caballero's homer, Cole faced a late-game scare with bases loaded but escaped after a fly ball ended the threat. David Bednar finished the game with a four-out save. The Yankees wrap up a 10-game road trip, returning to the Bronx for a series against the St. Louis Cardinals next.
